In his latest book, A Golden Civilization and the Map of Mindfulness, he draws on 50 years as a mindfulness practitioner, 30 years as a mindfulness teacher, and his experience training financial advisors globally to challenge the basic concepts of economics, our understanding of democracy, of space time, and our own hearts. Founder of the Kinder Institute of Life Planning and Harvard-educated, Kinder has trained over 3,000 professionals in 30 countries in the mindfulness-based field he created known as financial Life Planning. In 2019, he launched a global grassroots conversation movement, Golden Civilization Conversations,aimed at sparking participative democracy across the globe and bringing about a Golden Civilization within a generation. His objective is to bring greater levels of freedom everywhere.
